Hello Barkha,
Today the industry is not just looking at Finance Managers, Marketing Managers or HR Managers. The industry is looking for people who can view the business as a whole and can taken decisions according to the business activity. As every decision affects the entire organization. Business Design aims at creating all round managers who can work for the entire organization. For this purpose in your second year you can specialize in verticals like BFSI, Design, FMCG, Telecom, Media, etc. In these verticals you will be given all round knowledge on how that industry works.
BD also inculcates Design Thinking in aspiring managers and how one can accelerate innovation and solve problems faced by companies and society using Design Thinking.
The placement procedure for all courses is common. And you can apply for any company that comes to campus.
Details of the Course :
1. Its wackier. We learn in a classroom full of colors, music and photography.
2. We have a full credit course in painting and the Adobe Creative Suite
3. We have very few exams and more practical tests. Which helps us get more hands on experience.
We also have an Innovation Lab called Innowe
Welcome to Innowe
More details on the course can be found here: Business Design at WeSchool

Hello Jassi,
There is no fixed cut off for the Business Design Course, all calls are profile based. Since its a course that is markedly different from the traditional MBA program, it calls for careful selection. Which means not only are you judged on your CET score, GD, PI but also on the creative and the psychometric tests. Last year people with a CET score of 85 percentile have also got in but they have more than 3-4 years of work experience and also are extremely creative.
No B-School promises 100% placement for any course.
The package details and recruiters list are mentioned in the FAQ doc we have posted earlier.

Hello Barkha,
Some of the companies mentioned here come only for Business Design profiles.
The packages that the companies offer are on the same lines as all the other courses, if not more.

Do we get any guidance in this course to put our venture plan into practice and any funds ?
barkha88 SaysDo we get any guidance in this course to put our venture plan into practice and any funds ?
Hey Barkha,
Yes, we have a course in the 3rd Trimester called Business Plan. This is taken up by one of our core faculty members Prof. Kaustubh Dhargalkar, who is an entrepreneur.
The course will take you from understanding the basics, to financials of a plan, to its creation. The course ends with students coming up with business plans and the class will be your VC. You will have to pitch to your class and the class decides whether they would like to fund you.
Also, we have theme based trimesters. With the theme for the first one being "Need Identification and Opportunity Spotting". Which focuses on trying to understand how one can identify latent needs in a given industry and get consumer insights. This is followed by "Concept Generation and Business Case Creation" then "Business Plan Creation" and "Business Plan Execution". As you can see the course is structured in a way to give you in depth understanding of all areas of a business. Whether it be marketing, finance, etc.

Thanks for your quick responses 😃 ... its really helping me out thouroughly... Do we have any international exposure for Business design like internship etc ? Also when you say the class will be our VC, could you expand more on this from where exactly is this funding cioming from ... is it the institute or the students ?
Can it be a business plan on the social lines ?

Hey Barkha,
I'm afraid you've got it wrong. When we say the class is your VC we don't mean the class or the institution will fund you. It means that the class as a whole will decide whether your business plan is good. They will rate you on parameters like a normal VC would. There is no exchange of funds here. In case you feel that you have an excellent business idea and plan ready, Professor's, Senior's and Faculty would be more than willing to support and mentor you. And yes, your business idea and plan can be on social lines.
You do get various opportunities to get international exposure. Companies like Mattel (Malaysia), Siemens (Germany), BIDCO (Kenya), MV Group (Germany), etc. and universities like CBS University (Denmark), IESEG University (France), Daimler (Germany) and Sweden Study Tour offer internships and foreign exchange programs.

Since Welingkar gives a profile based call it depends on your essay questions as well along with preference for which course you have applied.However,at this stage it would be not possible for us to say sure-shot about any eligibility.
